Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 Review

In order to refresh and improve its range of tablets, Samsung has introduced the Pro line of these devices. The South Korean manufacturer is led by the idea to offer tablets of all sizes, and hence we already saw the Galaxy Tab 12.2 and Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4. Next in line isthe middle-sized Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1. No matter this manufacturer already offers very good 10-inch tablets, Sammy has decided to make a new one. The question now is whether the Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 is actually Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) without S- Pen or something new and better. The answer to this question we will try to give in the following lines of text.

Samsung Galaxy TabPro10.1 Design

Like the two above-mentioned brothers, this tablet doesn't offer anything new in terms of design. At first glance, you will have the dilemma of whether this is Galaxy Note 3 or Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition). The reason for this is simple, but also a harmonious Samsung’s design with plastic as a dominant material and faux-leather on the back.

On the front side is the famous trio of buttons. There is a hard home button and a pair of capacitive keys. The main power button is located on top of the device, while the microSD slot on the left, and the stereo speakers on the sides .

Tablet is a lightweight in hands. It's enough thin to provide a great feel of using it and thanks to 469g using it isn't such a difficult task. There is a bezel area, which isn't so small, since it little spoiled aesthetic pleasure, but also give a chance to your fingers to be nicely placed when using the tablet.

Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 Screen

Samsung has decided screen to be a major part of this tablet. Like other tablet Galaxy Pro, Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 has a high resolution screen (2560 × 1600 pixels). This, of course, isn't the best thing so far, since the other 10-inch tablets offer the same or a similar resolution. I am referring primarily to the Nexus 10.

Thanks to 299 pixels per inch, image sharpness is present, especially when the text is in question. Color quality is high. All in all, this screen provides a truly right pleasure to use, and even when you're using it a lot, it will not be problem for your eyes.

Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 Specs and Performance

The screen wasn't the subject of compromise. So it's the same with performance. With powerful Exynos 5 Octa processor (or Qualcomm Snapdragon 800, depending on the version) there's no problem. As expected, the tablet runs smoothly. To be honest, some times it happens that tablet lags, but it's rather to demanding interface, but the hardware. If your priority is multitasking, this shouldn't scare you, because very soon you will find out that several apps simultaneously work fine.

Samsung offers a choice of 16 or 32GB of internal memory. At the same time, there are differences between the versions, depending on the type of connection you want to use. LTE version has the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, while Wi-Fi works on Exynos 5 Octa processor. The first has a 2.3GHz, while the second one operates at a frequency of 1.9GHz. In addition, the tablet also offers the option to connect to your TV and PC, so we can say that's a very practical device.

Audio quality is very good. Stereo speakers are loud enough and the purity of the sound is good. When the battery is concerned, these 8.220mAh is enough for about four days. When it comes to heavy use, you can count on all day, but in each case by the average use Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 gives a few days without charging.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Pro Camera

Tablet on the back has a 8MP camera. It comes with a very good app, which offers plenty of shooting modes. Picture quality is on big brother's level, but it's clear that the size of this device will be burden for the user. But, when there is no smartphone in the house, even this large device can help.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Pro Conclusion

When all things are considered, we can hardly find an element that separates this tablet from the two brothers. The only thing that's different is the size of the screen. On the other hand, the price is something that will reject a good part of consumer's body. Such a high price maybe can be justified by the fantastic multimedia and multitasking capabilities. Therefore, Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 is ideal for all categories of users, whether they are interested in video games, movies or they're business users.
